Chapter 418. Show your hand
Lin Yi was like the most famous celebrity in the God of Wealth Temple, wandering in this antique market, and the people around him all greeted him in unison, which made him feel very unaccustomed to it, so he could only nod frequently. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
His easy-going and enthusiastic made those fans who liked him and adored him excited. Especially those tourists who came from afar because they had heard his legend, took out their mobile phones and cameras to take intimate photos with him.
Lin Yi was made to cry and laugh, he just came here to shop for books in his free time, but he didn't expect to be treated as a star, fortunately no one asked him for an autograph, otherwise it would make him even bigger.
Of course, Lin Yi was so sensational at the scene, and there were a small number of people who couldn't stand it. In their opinion, Lin Yi is just one nose and two eyes, and he is not a three-headed and six-armed person, what is the big deal.
Lin Yi saw those disdainful glances, but he still smiled at them.
Those people were contemptuous, and said in their hearts, if they have the ability, they will show us the means of Taobao with one hand, and brag that they will not be taxed!
Lin Yi ignored their provocative gaze and continued to wander through the various bookstalls, and those stall owners all felt extremely honored when they saw him patronizing. But it's a pity that Lin Yi basically scanned the bookstall with his eyes, but didn't pick out any books.
Needless to say, he couldn't even look at these books.
Also, Nandu is a small place, like Jinling, Shanghai, and Beijing, there are so many rare books, and it is rare to have thousands of books here.
Lin Yi's "not doing anything" made those around him look down on him even more that he felt that he was "in vain". Fame is blown out, look at it, there is no real ability.
Not far away, there was a newly furnished bookstall with a dark and thin old man, sitting on a broken chair in his house, bent his waist, while smoking his cheaply bought toad lai lao tobacco, and at the same time very seriously introduced to a few tourists who were picking books how these books came about, saying that these books were bought by his son-in-law from the library of their diesel engine factory, and they were all brand new old books, except for the library's collection stamp, there was nothing, and they were very clean.
Those people looked at it, and sure enough, these books were quite new, but there were book bags in them, recording the time when each book was borrowed, and the name of the person who borrowed it, not as "new" as the old man said, and he had never read it.
Among them, a balding man in his thirties picked up a hardcover copy of Walden published by Shanghai Translation Publishing House in 1993, looked at it a few times, and then pretended to ask the old man: "How much is this book?" ”
The old man looked at the book and said, "This is a hardcover, hardcover books are more expensive, you can give 35." ”
The bald man muttered, "Damn, 35!" More expensive than a new book! He threw the book back at the shelf.
At this moment, a hand reached out, gently took the book in his hand, and said, "I want this book." ”
The bald man turned his head to see that it was a handsome-looking young man, and he said in his heart, another fool, paying so much money to buy an old book.
But the people around who were watching the excitement suddenly gathered around and exclaimed, "He made a move!" 'Leakage God' Lin Yi has made a move! ”
Everyone had a look of surprise on their faces, as if they had seen something incredible.
Yes, since Lin Yi became famous, he rarely bought books on Taobao in this kind of used book market, firstly, because his vision is too high, and he is not a basic disdain for rare books, and secondly, there are too few good books in this kind of place, and there are very few that can exceed 100 children and 80s. The third is that Lin Yi is embarrassed to do it easily, often as soon as he does it himself, those stall owners will take advantage of the trend to increase the price, and even good books can be sold as treasures. Once, because I casually touched a book, I didn't buy it, and then the price of that book skyrocketed, more than ten times more than the Internet, and was bought by a fool.
Because of the above factors, Lin Yi is not easy to buy books now, but this time, he really can't help it.
……
Just now, when the bald man was flipping through the book, Lin Yi habitually rubbed his nose, and then a wisp of book fragrance floated from the book to his nose.
Lin Yi was slightly surprised, with the powerful aura in his body now, pictures immediately appeared in his mind. It's like a movie, and it's crystal clear.
……
In the printing house, after the last pass, a bespectacled master put the book in a cardboard box.
The book was then loaded onto a truck and transported all the way to a Xinhua bookstore in a certain city. When he arrived at the ground, before he could rest, he was directly transferred to the trade union library of a pickle factory in the city. As soon as he got there, he was taken by a fat woman, and on the title page of the book, the official seal of the library was stamped, and the number was written with a pen.
Walden thus became the official collection of the library of the "State Diesel Engine Factory".
……
This is a young man who graduated from a secondary school, has just joined the work, is very shy, blushes when he speaks, and is polite. He took out the brand-new copy of Walden from among the many books, carefully held it in his hand, and handed over his library card.
When he got off work, the young man combed his hair in the mirror, took the book with him, and went to the garden near the factory, waiting for the object to be introduced to him.
didn't use a cigarette, the girl with a face like a morning glow and a pair of red phoenix eyes under her willow eyebrows walked over quickly. Seeing the girl there, he hurried forward and said to her, "Hello." The girl seemed nervouser than he was, and shorter-faced. blushing, just nodding shyly at him, there was no follow-up.
The two of them sat silently on the wooden stools of the gazebo, and let the time slip quietly past them.
When we finally parted, the young man handed her the copy of "Walden" in his hand and said that this book is very good, you can read it. The girl said shyly, "Thank you." ”
……
The young man was eagerly looking forward to the time of another date, and at last, he saw the girl again, and the girl did not say anything, and shyly returned the copy of Walden to the young man.
The young man didn't understand what she meant, whether he wanted to or not, and he was too embarrassed to ask.
Before the two parted, the young man mustered up the courage to buy a popsicle for the girl, and the girl took a bite and said, "It's sweet." ”
……
Without the girl's news, the young man knew that she might not have taken a fancy to him, and he sighed and returned Walden, which he had not read much, back to the library.
Walden just lay quietly on the library shelves, unattended.
Later, the young man got married, but all he could think of was the girl's face. The girl also got married. The two lived their own lives. Later, I heard that the girl was very unlucky, her husband died in a car accident, leaving a six-year-old child, and the child later got vitiligo, and life was very difficult.
……
The state-owned diesel engine factory is about to be restructured, the old books in the library are about to be cleaned up, and the "Walden" that has only been borrowed out once has also been put into a sack by the book collector, and just as it fell into the sack, a snow-white piece of paper floated out of the book, and on it was a line of pen words: Tomorrow night, I will wait for you at the door of the People's Cinema, Wen.
Wen is her name.
……
Retracting his thoughts, Lin Yi felt an inexplicable sadness, sometimes he really didn't know whether his ability to read the story behind each "book" was good or bad.
Just when Lin Yi sighed, the old man who sold books asked, "Young man, do you want to buy this book?" ”
The bald man sneered: "He is afraid of a loss, so he doesn't dare to buy it." ”
Lin Yiwan handed the old man fifty yuan directly, and said, "Don't look for it." ”
The bald man sneered again: "Oh, it's still a big deal." ”
Lin Yi shook his head, took the book, and lined up everyone to leave.
The bald man was still talking to Rory: "You look quite famous, why did you buy this broken book." ”
Lin Yi smiled and said to him: "Well, maybe you don't play with books much, but I suggest you check it out, this kind of book is called 'grid book'." With that, he walked straight away.
Behind him, the fans hurriedly took out their mobile phones and searched wildly---
Grid book, Walden, or hardcover---
And then, they were dumbfounded.
The price --- 1800 yuan! (To be continued.) )
